The Med Control Monthly Podcast is brought to you by the Oakland County Medical Control Authority in Oakland County, MI. The mission of Med Control Monthly is to provide the latest updates, information, and trends to and on behalf of Oakland County MCAs’ EMS agencies and hospitals. The Oakland County EMS system is made up of 49 EMS agencies and 15 hospitals that serve about 1.3 million residents with approximately 250,000 calls for service each year. It requires a constant stream of high-quality information to support such a robust and busy system.
